Technology Day 2014

The Third Annual Technology Day: A Modern Story, took place one August 18, 2014. Over
the past two years 269 faculty and staff at Saint Xavier University have shared their
experiences with technology and explored the areas of pedagogical innovation, iPads
in the classroom, the utilization of ePortfolios and much more. In 2014, we invited
like-minded faculty, staff and administrators who were interested in education innovation
from the area universities, community colleges and K-12 school districts.

In 2014, we were pleased to have an international leader in educational technology
serve as our Opening Keynote Speaker, Alan November, Senior Partner and Founder of November Learning. November was named one of the nation's fifteen most influential thinkers of the decade
by Technology and Learning Magazine.
